Year 5 children from Salterforth Primary School, Gisburn Road School, Barnoldswick C E School and Thornton in Craven Primary took to the water for an exciting and action-packed swimming gala organised by West Craven High School.

The event brought together children from across our local primary schools, all eager to show off their swimming skills and team spirit.

With cheers from the parents and plenty of determination in the pool, the children competed in a range of fun and friendly races. From front crawl to freestyle relays, every swimmer gave it their all, showing fantastic sportsmanship and enthusiasm throughout.

A huge well done to all who took part — whether they won a medal or simply gave it their best shot, each child should be proud of their achievement. A special thank you also goes to West Craven High School staff and student helpers,  Pendle Leisure Trust and our local primary school teachers who helped the event run so smoothly.
